everything else. they don't decide is in a vacuum based on the law, they actually take things into consideration where the public stance? >> i don't think they take a demonstration into consideration. i think is less and would just as roberts, it is part of his legacy, i think you saw with the obama caroling. you had a decision where he had to make he had to be the one to make a deciding decision in choosing the path we that the court reduced the up hold obama care. he looked around and saw the fact that the court went and and basically try to invalidate a law on grounds. he was treading into territory did not want the court to go into. >> i notice that she just as robert a lesbian cousin is in the court room. >> i think it's more than interesting, it is significant. she received a personal invitation from him. roberts was not part of

>> the supreme court hearing arguments on same- sex marriages, weighing in on proposition 8. 40 states still do not allow same-sex marriage. we have been following the latest on what is happening inside the courtroom hearing this morning. >> michael e. yaki as our pipeline to that. we cannot sleep, you have to have a good old-fashioned runner. >> the most important thing is these goethe's block which is the supreme court log made of all the

professors and professional lawyers who have done the supreme court. former clerks, they are not predicting that as of the questioning there are five votes to overturn prop. 8. they are probably five votes to uphold the as the decision. when the plaintiffs wanted the trial court, california is that we're not going to appeal this case, we will let it stand. proponents of the initiative came and asked for standing to do it. right now you have both roberts and my your, one of the chief justice is asking the attorneys for prop. 8. >> it seems if you look at all the possible outcomes, there many more passes same- sex marriage.

>> this path would basically go back to the ruling of two or three years ago which basically talked about a fundamental right to marry. that is pretty broad and something that will be out there and give encouragement to other courts and other communities. it is not what people were hoping for which will be the grand sweeping announcement. i think one of the other interesting things coming out and this could be an application to the the mall argument tomorrow. kennedy who is seen as a swing vote on this is really concerned about the impact of the nile of same-sex marriage and benefits to children. what that means the children. he kept on asking the attorneys for prop. 8 does this have any immediate legal injuries to children? what does it affect them because their parents in that have fed the same legal status as other children. they're implying that children being raised in same-sex marriages would

have some sort of mental problems. roberts carried it back and forth. >> these views that they're making these arguments this morning making arguments for what is best for the children? >> he believes that not having marital status to same-sex parents creates a legal injuries to children. when you think about it makes sense in terms of custody and child support all the things that decisions on medical care. those things are not given to same-sex parents as they are to people whose marriages are legally recognized. that is important for the mall later on tomorrow i think. kennedy said backtracking on that issue, i know there'll be some people to be coming out talking about that issue.

>> they're coming out right now as the hearing has wrapped up. 10:00 our time will be getting the full ideal of what happened in court today. after it is to analyze how much you think will have a much better sense of where this will go? >> i don't think you have a sense, maybe a clue. what justice roberts did with the obama care case, no one thought for a second he was going to be with the administration on obama care. sometimes you ask these questions as part of their legal curiosity. i used to do it in law school all the time. assessing with a big case like this. at the end of the game, they can go back and and changed things, this was the numbers around and fibers its people may decide to go this way i read the the what i thought i was going to do in the oral argument. there is no predictability. >> all sides of have their time this morning. they come back tomorrow and consider

the defense of marriage act. that as a whole separate issue. >> exactly. >> you will be back? >> i will be back. >> 834 8:00 p.m. and we will check out the traffic. >> we will be really slow coming in from the golden gate bridge. i'm getting confirming reports of a jam that reaches from the toll plaza all the way along presidio park way down to the new doyle drive bypass. the signal light at marina boulevard has been malfunctioning. it has been flashing on red. even other crews down there working on it, they have not been able to get it to operate correctly or to cycle. it is operating on flashing red and that has created a four way stop and a 2 1/2 mile

traffic jam for the stretch of presidio parkway. it is jammed up. so the ride there marin county on 1 01 southbound. there have been an accident at the 580 turn off, it is still slow coming out of novato before highway 37. >> it is a sunday starts of the morning, we do have some clouds out there. temperatures climb into the '60s as we head into the afternoon. we had a couple of sprinkles earlier this morning in the north bay. into tomorrow morning, fog is novel for the north bay valleys and along the coast line. showers are also a possibility. we do not have any big rainmakers indeed forecast, just a passing shower. full details on your extended forecast coming up in just a bit. 830 >> 8:36 a.m. and investigators are investigating a homicide.

the tracks and the trail. as you saw earlier, they have a white pop up to and about halfway over, down the trail where we are at and highway 29 hours. we're hoping the next 15 to 20 minutes we would get new information concerning this investigation. we do, we will pass along. >> he has seen how these investigations go and i'm wondering by the look of the tens of the weight of their coming area, this is seen to you that there's a body that was found? what they do in this case? sometimes it was uncertain vehicles or have certain people handling it. you have a sense of that for this? >> it is hard to say. i would guess it is obviously something that they call out the homicide detectives that there was a body found on the trail. whether and how the body remains there is unclear. there is that white pop up sad about a quarter mile from where we are right now. is kind of in the middle of the trail.

basically right our the top of highway 29. as i said, this is an hour past the goes over the top of 29. where will try someone signed a walking back on the other. -- walking pasth. >> 8:38 a.m. and we will be back with more in a couple of minutes. new nehoney bunches of oats greek yogurt and whole grain. herehe we go.
